OH SHIT! Quiet Riot's US Festival performance will be released on DVD/CD!
FUCK YEAH!!!

They played here on the Bayou in the mid '90s and Cavazo used my Marshalls and offered to purchase my '73 Superlead because he liked how loud it was...
They sucked that night and Dubrow was a dickhead looking for drugs...
But Carlos was super cool and took me and my friend on the tour bus and showed us a few vintage guitars he had with him...
The DVD looks promising...

I saw Ratt 2 or 3 years ago and Carlos Cavazo was in Robin Crosby's spot. He looked exactly the same as he did in this clip. Some people just never age.Comment

I tripped out a little when I first heard an interview with Carlos. I swear I always thought he would have a Mexican accent. I like him in Ratt though. I never ever like replacements in bands. Ever. But for some reason I think he fits perfect here & I actually like it.

I don't know why they don't just release the entire thing on DVD? Anyone my age would buy the thing.Stay Frosty, muthas!Comment

From the various clips I've seen --- most bands sucked pretty bad at the '83 US Festival. Probably because it was 100F degrees for the entire weekend and people were more interested in avoiding heat stroke than enjoying the music.
Motley Crue even wrote in their autobiography it was one of the most embarrassing moments of their career.Comment

I saw them in that era too. I felt sad because their "tour bus" was a beat to shit Ford conversion van. I kid you not.
Anyways, a chick I worked with....her uncle owned the place they played. Decent concert gig in San Diego called 4th & B. She scored me 18 free tickets. I gathered everyone I could & their friends too....but still had a couple extra. I hung outside & grabbed a couple guys at the ticket window about to pay cash & handed them the free tix.
Good show though. Had fun.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

They had a real rental RV/tour bus when they were here...
Dubrow probably snorted the little bit of money they made by the time they got to Cali...

They're going on tour with KISS. WTF? Seems like a superb pairing. But I've seen KISS & was severely disappointing. Maybe touring with Crue, who always has a great show, will force KISS to really step it up. Never been to a bad Crue show.
Was actually my 1st concert ever back in 85 or 86 Theater Of Pain tour with Loudness opening up. Awesome!“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

It was a long day. I don't so much remember the heat as I do getting sunburned and then when the sun went down it cooled down. When VH was playing I had the chills and did not feel good.
To be honest, I'm not so into these festival things. I would just rather go see a band at a regular venue and raise hell for two or three hours. Dragging it over three days and a bunch of bands just really doesn't work. To his credit Woz spent the money and did the planning to make the US Festival as much of a fun experience as possible.Last edited by Nitro Express; 03-24-2012, 05:33 PM.No!

A stadium is the largest venue I would want to see a band play in. Mainly because of the bathrooms, no mud, shade nearby, and walking back to the car.Comment

Now that I'm in my 40's ---- no way in hell I would attend a large festival. Standing all day in the sun or rain with no seats and overflowing Port-A-Johns doesnt sound like much fun to me. Let the young whipper-snappers put up with that shit ---- they aren't there for music anyway ---- just a chance to mosh and maybe grope some chicks.Comment
